Russian Federation is a world leader of oil production and has the world's longest system of oil pipelines. Therefore, there is a perfect fleet of technological equipment to meet the global trends in this industry. The oil and gas equipment market in Russia is widely represented by foreign and domestic manufacturers, the obvious challenge is to increase the share of Russian-made devices and, first of all, creation of their own technologies of measurement and monitoring. This project is devoted to the creation of a device for measuring oil flow in the pipeline. The innovative design of the device is a set of straight-line oscillating tube, optical sensors based on the Michelson interferometer, analog-digital machine vision module and highperformance computer system. This technological solution allows to accurate mass oil flow measurement. Development of the project is carried out in conjunction with the oil and gas equipment plant of JSC "HMS NEFTEMASH". Now, the concept of the measuring complex has been worked out, engineering and design documentation has been prepared and the test piece is being created. In addition, the patent RU 179 411 U1: "Device for measuring the flow of fluid and gas" was obtained by the team of authors.
